Announcing new CHS P&S and Merit Staff members
As we progress toward becoming the College of Human Sciences, a key component involves the transition of staff in current positions to new job duties serving the new college. P&S and merit positions in the dean's offices, including alumni services and communications staff, and the student services offices are affected with several exceptions:
- Development officers are not affected since they are employees of the ISU Foundation.
- The merit position held by Barbara Negri that is funded by Extension is not affected.
- The continuous adjunct appointment supporting student recruitment and retention efforts held by Darlene Fratzke is not affected because of the original terms of that appointment.
- The records analyst II position that supports teacher licensure for all students in all colleges that is held by Linda Aspengren is not affected.
- The administrative specialist II position held by Betty Rasmussen is being converted to a term position ending June 30, 2006 to provide continuity and support to college and alumni relations staff.
- The computer support and educational technology staff positions held by Amit Chaudhary, Karla Embleton, Christopher Haywood and Leslie Pease were not included in the combination given the pending restructuring of the institutional information technology units.

Program Coordinator III (International Programs) — Ken Schindele
Program Coordinator II (Assistant to the Dean) — Letha DeMoss

Associate Dean Search
Zora Zimmerman, Associate Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, is chairing the screening committee for two Associate Dean positions in the College of Human Sciences: the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and Student Services and the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education. Members of the committee include faculty members Lee Alekel (FSHN) and Niki Davis (C&I) and department chairs Mary Gregoire (AESHM) and Rick Sharp (HHP).
After a brief screening process, the committee will make recommendations to Jerry Thomas and Pamela White, who will then do a second interview. These appointments are for a 1-year term beginning July 1, 2005 and ending June 30, 2006.
JaneAnn Stout will continue as Associate Dean of the College of Human Sciences and Director of Extension to Families.
